Pounding The Rock, a San Antonio Spurs community

Just an excerpt: Splitter is playing with confidence making plays that toe the line between "Finally! This is what we’ve been waiting for," and "Wait, I had no idea he could do that." Good description of how I've felt about it.

CORRECTION: It seems that we jumped the gun yesterday. Oops. Eurocup.com has the story, linked above. Nando De Colo will be one of Tiago's new teammates. I'm glad he's going to be playing during the lost NBA season. Your turn, Manu.

Great, now even BDL is talking about Splittergate.

Man, I wish I could have watched last night's game. Great writeup from Tim V. We agree on first names, and on what Tiago's primary mission is for this team.

Tiago's playing against the Clippers tonight. Yay?

I was going to let Google translate this, but I couldn't even understand what it was saying in English, so if somebody want's to translate, that'd be great.

If Tiago's with us, that game is going to be really awkward.

This is 100% pure awesome.

At Spurstalk, abmiralsnackbar offers this translation: Josean Querejeta, the president of Saski Baskonia as taken the departure of T. Splitter to the San Antonio Spurs next season as "something normal." Querejeta has explained during the ceremony delivering the Championship watches [instead of rings, evidently] to the players of Caja that Splitter's progress and growth as a player leads him "compete in the best league in the world", and that it is his "goal and dream." The president went on to say he is "aware" of the player's wishes to embark on the American adventure, although "there is, as yet, no confirmation," of this next step. Although Tiago's farewell has yet to become official, Querejeta has already assumed Splitter will be absent from next season's campaign while at the same time thinking him "irreplaceable" as a player who has, from his arrival to the team, become the "dominant center," of the European scene. He assumes it to be a certainty that Splitter will exercise his player's option to begin his NBA adventure with the Spurs, who have his rights. I hope this guy is right.
